Page 2: Second Coming

Catyclismic Events

• Matt. 24:29-31, “Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will no longer give its light; The stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky and all the nations will mourn. The Son of Man will appear in the clouds of the sky with power and great glory and he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”

Page 3: Second Coming

Series of Events Required

• Matt. 24:6-14+15, “You will hear of wars and rumor of wars, but the see to it that you are not alarmed... Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains …the love of most will grow cold…So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation ...”

The Day

• 2 Thess. 2:1-4, “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered up to him, we ask you brothers, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed considering some prophecy, report, or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.”

Page 5: Second Coming

Restraining Force

• 2 Thess. 2:5-8, “Don’t you remember when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will overthrow”.

Page 6: Second Coming

Not The Church

• Not described in Neuter or Male gender.

• 2 Thess. 2:1-4 stated the day of the rapture and second coming will not occur until the man of lawlessness is revealed, which is at least the middle of tribulation.

• If The Church or Holy Spirit were removed then not a single convert to Christ would occur during the tribulation period.

Michael the Archangel

• The protector of God’s people.• He is in constant war with Satan, and

restrains him. (See Jude 9, Dan. 10:13).• Satan finally has restraint loosed at the

war at 5th trumpet, where access in heaven stops and fury on earth heightens. (See Rev. 9:1-5+12:10-12.)

Page 8: Second Coming

No Quiet Rapture

• 1 Thess. 4:15- “According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first”.

Second Coming in Review

• Associated with cataclysmic events in the heavenly, which is not documented before tribulation begins-He doesn’t come quietly.

• No imminent return, but a series of events are required, like the wars, famines, plagues, great apostasy and abomination.

• Occurs at the rapture, 6th seal, 7th trumpet.• He rescues his people and reveals many

mysteries and ends time as we know it.
